Thailand

On our way back to Italy we stopped in Thailand for 10 days. It was nice to visit there without the pressures of a team, and to catch up with all our friends there.

We spent time with the Potters, missionaries from Cromwell, NZ. They have been there for about 10 years and are an amazing couple doing great things. They took us to Mae Chaem for the day to visit the youth hostel that Harvest Church has invested a lot into. The team are doing an awesome job there with all the young people. It was great to see all the buildings completed. We also saw Panya (who came and spent 6 months at Harvest Christian Church) and his wife Blah. They took us to a hot springs park where we cooked eggs in the hot water, had lunch and then went to an elephant park. it was the elephant annual holiday so there was a big festival for them including a buffet dinner!

We also spent 4 days at Kata beach in Phuket, which was very relaxing.
